Trip Travels

I am just recently home from a wonderful trip to Vietnam & Cambodia with my Mom.  We traveled with AMA Waterways both on land and by sea on the RV AMA Lotus and we had an absolutely amazing time.  I am currently wading my way through editing my photos from the trip, check out some of the early edits here.  Have you ever travelled to Asia?  If so, what was your favorite country and/or city? 

Family Maternity Shoot

I had so much fun capturing this family's excitement about adding another little one to their brood.  

Although the little guys is excited, he is also saying, 'but hey! What about me?!' 

Wardrobe Wednesday

The Tea Collection has some amazing Fall fashions for your little one this year.  Look no further for finding just the right look for that upcoming family photo shoot!

Wardrobe Wednesday (Halloween Edition)

Boo!

With Halloween coming up this weekend I thought, what would be more appropriate than a Halloween themed Wardrobe Wednesday?!?

What are the popular costumes in your house this year?

The little ones I've been hanging around lately are either feeling funny, feeling like a princess or dressing up like Ninjas (the overwhelming winner!)

For the record I absolutely LOVE this princess costume, it lights up!!  Cool for the kids and way cool for the parents to keep an eye on their little princess as the sun goes down!  I wish they had this costume when I was little!!

All of these and other great costumes can be found at Party City!

Wardrobe Wednesday

Today's Wardrobe Wednesday is a little different than the rest.  This is a a real life Mary Bea Photography family!  The colors that they wore really complemented each other and worked wonderfully with their own coloring, especially bringing out baby's baby blues!

Fun Fall Engagement Shoot

We had so much fun this past weekend capturing the joy of this couple's engagement as well as their love for each other at the wonderful and tasty Pichetti Winery in Cupertino, CA.

It's Costume Time!

It's October, so what does that mean?!?  Halloween is right around the corner!

Spaces are limited for Mary Bea Photography Halloween Mini Sessions so schedule soon!

Comfort is Key

Headshot photo shoots are no fun unless you make them fun!  That is exactly what this client & I succeeded in last week.  When you are feeling comfortable and yourself that is when you are most beautiful/handsome in front of the camera.  As you can see she was feeling very comfortable!

 

He's 1!

My shoot in Palo Alto last week was so much fun!  This little guy just recently turned one and I absolutely can not believe it, because just mere months before he rolled over for the first time during his 4 month shoot!  They grow so fast and he is no exception, he was running so fast he gave me a workout!

Do you prefer the black & white images or the color ones better?  Let me know by commenting below!

Good Friends in San Francisco

What could be better than getting together with good friends in San Francisco?  Good friends in San Francisco with CUTE babies!  Last week we met up with some friends at Southern Pacific Brewing, fabulous food by the way!  The wonderful company was only made better by this sweet little 5 month old Dallas, he is a happy and cuddly little boy, can't wait to see him again!

Birthday Boy in San Francisco

Here is a truly sweet image from a recent Birthday shoot in San Francisco.  

I love this image because of the pure joy that is expressed on this little boy's face.

Little Explorer

Here are some shots I wanted to share from a really fun shoot I did recently at the Junior Museum & Zoo in Palo Alto.  A great spot for the local kiddos, I know about it now thanks to my clients!

Also, love this portrait!

Playground Fun

Easter

I love the ease, comfort & love that just exudes itself from this recent Easter Shoot at Huddart Park.

E clearly had a great Easter, did you?

Hide & Seek

   

Valentines

Here are some sweet images from a recent Mother/Daughter Valentine's Shoot.  We shot right in their backyard so we were able to bring out their two adorable dogs from some of the shots and they were great little models as you can see!

friendly faces

Here are some fun snap shots from a family photo shoot last week.  These adorable little boys were camera shy at first but we were able to get some really nice and natural smiles out of them.

I love this image below where kids & mom got playful at the end of the shoot!

Baby Bump in SF

  

This was a really fun shoot we did at the Palace of the Fine Arts.  This is a location that I have wanted to shoot at for a long time because of the beautiful iconic San Francisco back drop it provides.  I look forward to shooting here again, although it can be a challenge since it is such a popular destination.  However, as you can see it was like this couple were the only two there!  Afterwards we headed to Crissy Field Marsh so we could get some shots with the bridge and more of the city.  See below, I really love the image with the moon so low in the sky and reflecting on the water.
